Pain sucks. Opioid addiction sucks. Wearing something on your leg that zaps your sensory nerves, to make your brain close its pain sensory gates throughout your whole body…sounds like a pretty cool option to fight chronic pain. It’s sort of like turning on some soothing “white noise” for your brain’s pain center. You control the frequency and intensity of zaps with an app on your phone.
